Big thanks to Neon for throwing a gorgeous photo I could absolutely not resist ✨
I suddenly find myself in the mood to draw some musketeers. My rough sketches never look anything like the final product!
edit: ...and the swords are on the wrong side. *face palm
Eva Green as Milady de Winter in the new trailer to The Musketeers
Started watching the Musketeers (2014, on Prime) recently bc I had a lot of free time on a roadtrip across the US. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it- I love it period-pieces/historical stuff, but I tend to unintentionally have a specific taste in stuff that I'll continue watching on my own time.
But I am not exaggerating when I say that I don't have the words to convey just how much I absolutely love the show.
I'll probably bullet-list my favourite bits about it some other day, but I'm watching season 1 again, and I thought i should share my favourite line from the show.
Context: a woman (Comtesse) who advocates for women's education is being put on trial bc 17th France has a toxic patriarchy, but it particularly stems from the King's advisor (played by Peter Capaldi- I know! : D ) in this show. The Queen of France comes in right as the woman is sentenced to death for "being a witch and consorting with the devil", and essentially pardons her.
Comtesse stands to leave the court, and looks the king's advisor directly in the eye.
Comtesse: I have never consorted with the Devil unti this moment. I am looking at him.
And then- completely outside of Comtesse, the king's advisor starts choking on poison lol

Fic Update
For Milady's Protectors, I haven't posted a new chapter, but I added new stuff to chapters 2 & 3. I've started to get a better feel for where I want to go with it.
Let me know if you have any title ideas. I'm not good with titles and am not happy with this one.
Going through a lot of personal stuff right now, very emotional and stressful. So kudos, comments, messages, really any sort of love toward my stories will be superextraapprectiated. Thanks.
